Senators introduce bill to withhold congressional pay during shutdownDamned 27th makes it illegal, for them to not be paid. They can even vote to not pay themselves
Yeah but I’m sure he has direct deposit.Senators introduce bill to withhold congressional pay during shutdown
No Work, No Pay? Some Members of Congress Forego Paychecks During Shutdown
one of the few times I'm proud of my Congressman, he was among the first to publicly say he'll turn down his pay.

You're right about the bill, but there's nothing stopping them from donating 100% of their pay, which is what Delaney said. Like Trump does.Dave,
It doesn't matter. It literally violates the constitution. It requires an amendment not a bill.
And the way its written is so that it cant take effect until the congressional change after the next election after voting.
All the senators saying this are pandering for votes.
the problem is, their salary pay isn't why they are there in the first place. For most of these guys a loss of a few days/week of their wages is peanuts and has little financial ramifications to them.Now if they would all forego pay until they do something useful and productive...

You are quite the optimist.If people renew their perspectives, maybe things will start changing back from the Democratic Experiment someday
Amen. Only power hungry should read money hungry. Most of not all our extra government and policy is just plain greed. Career politicians making bank for them and whomever they are passing laws to help.You are quite the optimist.
I feel like most of my political oppositions have less to do with liberal/conservative, democrat/republican, left/right, and more to do with Fedgov vs Individual rights and the limitations and expectations of government. Those horrible racist 1%'er white dudes did a damn good job laying out the framework for this country, and its taken short sighted constituents and power hungry fools only a couple centuries to screw it up.
So, you Scholars, educate me. The Government shuts "Down" for 3 days. [I thought it was 2] And it COST Taxpayers something like 900 Million Dollars. HOW is That possible? How does it cost Money, to do Nothing, & Pay Nothing?
Because they are overreaching and have too many employees. A federal government shutdown should only be felt at the borders and in times of war (and if politicians allowed the government to shut down in a time of war, they should be tried for treason and hung).So, you Scholars, educate me.

Looks like you shit in the floor.
yep, as mentioned, a LOT of it is wasted productivity time.So, you Scholars, educate me. The Government shuts "Down" for 3 days. [I thought it was 2] And it COST Taxpayers something like 900 Million Dollars. HOW is That possible? How does it cost Money, to do Nothing, & Pay Nothing?
